Life is messy. Emotions can entangle and imprison. David W. Keffer's first collection of poetry is a snapshot of life: guilt, grief, love, lust, fear, frustration. Butterflies w/ Butter Knives looks at what it means to deal with life, coping with the chaos and confusion that befall us humans. Butterflies is an honest and poignant, relevant and unrelenting look at what it means to be favored, flawed, and completely fallible - dealing with the very real life issues of infidelity, failed relationships, substance abuse, mental health, death, and birth. In short, this collection is an in-depth case study of what it means to be human.
